  <text>ClearCase is our source code configuration management tool. It has some true ideosyncrasies, which probably means that its been around long enough to develop those ideosyncrasies. I'll leave corallary thoughts to the reader.

ClearCase provides both a GUI tool (ClearCase Explorer specifically) and command line tools (cleartool in particular) to allow a user to interact with it at whatever level is most comfortable to the user.  The GUI tool does encapsulate many commands in macro procedures that facilitate standard operations such as checkins, checkouts, updates, merging, etc.  But it does so opaquely, and this can lead to unexpected outcomes if you aren't armed with the right information before kicking off some cc procedure or another.

Luckily for us, many of the staff have spent time developing knoweldge, creatively developing workarounds, and best of all - writing down what they figured out!

Following is grouping of the tips and tricks that will help you deal with the clearcase in &lt;em&gt;your &lt;/em&gt;life.
